    About University of Melbourne

    The University of Melbourne, founded in 1853, is Australia's second-oldest university and consistently ranked as the nation's best. It introduced the 'Melbourne Model' in 2008, restructuring undergraduate degrees to be broader and more generalist — similar to the American liberal arts approach — followed by specialized graduate study. The university has produced four Australian Prime Ministers.
